In Prattville (formerly called Dead Dog), Oklahoma, in 1916, Tulsa May Bruder has given up on love. Her first and only suitor - Doctor Odysseus P. Foote, better known as Doc Odie - has jilted her at their first public engagement party. The whole town is talking and Tulsa May feels like a local wallflower. But then Luther Harlan Briggs, who has been like a brother to her for the last decade, tries to retrieve Tulsa's standing by pretending to court her, knowing that a new gentleman caller - especially one with his wild reputation - will replace the old one in the town folk's gossip. Suddenly Tulsa May sees a face she's known forever in a whole new light - and realizes that, as Luther says, "friendship can turn to romance in the blink of an eye."
